The time-scale for a point source injected mid-way

Reference no: EM13666975

The time-scale for a point source injected mid-way between two impermeable boundaries to become uniformly mixed across the section is given by the rule-of-thumb

where L is the distance between the two boundaries and D is the diffusion coefficient. Referring to the sketch below, consider a line of dye released instantaneously along the centerline of a shallow river so that the problem can be treated as one-dimensional
